Dark Souls 3 Review
Dark Souls is one of those things in life: you either love it's brutal combat, and minimalistic approach to storytelling, or hate its brick-wall difficulty and opaqueness. Dark Souls 3 has been claimed to be the last in the Dark Souls series, and if
Battleborn Guest Review
This review wended it's way to us via ArtemisPlays who has given permission for it to be posted here. Honestly, it was such a cracking write-up that I'd feel ashamed to write a shabbier version in my own words. You can find her on Twitch and Twi
DOOM Review
In any form of entertainment, sequels are always dangerous ground. Entertainment is based upon novelty, so how does one create something novel, fun and enjoyable, whilst also retaining all the factors that made the original so worthy of a sequel? It&
Kathy Rain Review
When it comes to point-and-click adventure games, there really are three key things that make for an enjoyable experience. Good writing, interesting environments and challenging puzzles. Getting these three elements to work with one another is a delicate
Uncharted 4 Review
Even the most stubborn of XBox fanboys will probably admit that Naughty Dog have made some excellent PlayStation exclusives. ‘Uncharted’ and ‘The Last of Us’ are ranked among the best of the best from the PS3 generation and with Ge
Quantum Break Review
Evolving its signature style of cinematic shoot-‘em-ups, the team at Remedy Entertainment have melded their strengths of gameplay and storytelling into a true story driven experience. Your decisions effects the outcome of not only the game, but also
Alekhine's Gun Review
The answer to the change in direction for the Hitman series, Alekhine's Gun promised to return to open-world exploration, non-hand holding stealth. We spoke to the guys at Maximum Games around the game extensively as well, they actually had some real
Tom Clancy's The Division Review
Tom Clancy's The Division makes me nervous. Hear me out! It was announced at E3 in 2013 by Ubisoft Massive, was hailed as a brand new type of game in the Tom Clancy pseudo-genre, and promised to marry an online multiplayer experience with a unique, b
Firewatch Review
I knew going into Firewatch that it was going to ultimately fail or succeed by way of its voice acting. This freshman effort from Canadian studio Campo Santo spends much of its run-time focusing on the dialogue between protagonist Henry and a lady on the
XCOM 2 Review
My rag-tag, six-man squad of escaped convicts and lone wanderers is in pretty decent shape. Sneaking below an overpass we manage to hack into a mech, then snipe his lone alien lookout in one fell swoop. Cover blown, I have the mech sprint towards the obje
World of Tanks PS4 Review
After successful runs on Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC Wargaming.net’s free-to-play game World of Tanks has finally rolled out into action on PlayStation 4, the premise simple, take a shooter and replace the people with massive, lumbering and highly rea
Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns Coming To Steam (And Is Probably Still Awful)
I originally wrote the below review for Nerd Junkies back when I worked with those guys. I feel it's time to dust it off almost 2 years later to ward off any optimistic folks out there that haven't heard the news about this horrific dress-up sim
Rainbow Six: Siege Review
Rainbow Six Siege is the first new iteration of the Rainbow Six franchise since 2008’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Rebooting the long-running Rainbow Six series as a five-on-five, attack-and-defend competitive shooter. Siege, like other multiplayer-focused
Poncho Review
We've spoken to the development team a couple of times over the past year during their development process, and it's fair to say we've been anticipating this title for a while. After a failed Kickstarter campaign, Rising Star Games stepped
Star Wars Battlefront Review
Star Wars Battlefront and its sequel Battlefront II were two of the best shooters of their time, and the best Star Wars related games by a long shot for those wanting to play the more “everyday” roles on the field of battle. Sure, there were h
Football Manager 2016 Review
I wasn’t particularly impressed with last year’s addition to the Football Manager franchise. The match engine was sluggish, the tactical side of the game was severely unbalanced and the scouting system rendered the act of scouting nearly point
Fallout 4 Review
When Bethesda announced Fallout 4 officially at E3 2015, fans of the series went into a frenzy (we know, we were there). They had been waiting since 2008’s Fallout 3 to return to the post-apocalyptic RPG world where you were free to do, well, pretty
